1ºBilly Edwards Well Billy, I never claim to know everything, but at least I try to learn rather than stick my head in the sand.
The Trump family were followers of Norman Vincent Peale, who in the 50s and 60s taught "The Power of Positive Thinking", which sounds great, but with further investigation (or reading ) you realize that Peale simply taught how to be a Snake Oil Salesman. "If you say something often enough, loud enough and with enough conviction, it becomes true". Trump learned well.
BTW - Trump likes to claim that he built 400 miles of new wall, but that's a lie. Under his administration there was 320 miles of repairs that was approved by Obama and 80 miles of new wall by Trump. This is a great example of the Trump con. He takes a morsel of truth and makes a great big false story. The only thing Trump is really good at is convincing people that he's not a con artist. But, you believe what you want - nothing I say is going to get through. You don't want to know.
I suggest watching the 1/6 hearings. I realize that MAGA Media tells you it's a waste of time . . . but they don't want you to watch it because all the testimony is coming mostly from Republicans who used to support Trump until they saw for themselves that he was a complete basket case.
2ºLori Wilson I wish Trump's followers would read about him and watch a few documentaries (although I know they would find excuses not to believe what they see or read). The thing that I found really compelling and explains a lot, is that Trump and his family went to the church of Norman Vincent Peale back in the 50s and believed in Peele's book The Powers of Positive Thinking. All of that sounds good, but Peale actually taught how to defraud. His main teaching was: If you say something loud enough, often enough and with conviction, there is a percentage of people that will believe whatever you say. It's the business model of Snake Oil Salesman . . . and Donald Trump.
3ºBilly Edwards sorry. I'm not a racist. I believe everyone should have a shot at a fair and comfortable life. People like you crack me up. No one owns this earth. We are all human. What makes you think you deserve better than anyone else ? Oh I know, you just repeat the rhetoric you are brainwashed to believe. I have many family members just like you and guess what, I no longer talk to them. I suppose your going to say you are religious too. No one human is better than another. This country is so far gone with people who think like you. It's very sad. I suggest you make peace with your maker because we were ALL created in his image no matter where in the world we come from. Oh and trump is just an uneducated idiot that was lucky to be born into money. And all of his followers are as uneducated as he is.
4ºValerie Mortensen ray epps has been debubked stop repeating fake Info. If you researched you would see he testified under oath and was never an FBI informant.
Why did 8 republicans ask for a pre emptive pardon for Jan 6?
Why did trump wait hours to tell his supporters to go home and he loves them?
Why did Pence have to call in NG and not trump?
Why was there a coordinated effort for fake electors to be signed in favor of trump?
Why did he have the mags removed?
His own personal attorneys testified under oath stating all this and more...
5ºWASHINGTON D.C., DC — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection poked another hole in the pro-Trump conspiracy theory that federal agents orchestrated the attack, confirming on Tuesday that a man at the center of the claims said he’d never been an FBI informant.
Ray Epps, an Arizona man who was filmed encouraging others to enter the U.S. Capitol, testified that he wasn’t “employed by, working with, or acting at the direction of any law enforcement agency on Jan. 5th or 6th or at any other time,” the committee tweeted on Tuesday.
The committee issued its statement after numerous Republican lawmakers highlighted the fringe theory in recent weeks, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. Pressed by Cruz, a Justice Department official said she couldn’t say whether FBI agents participated in the insurrection because she couldn’t discuss “the specifics of sources and methods” of the FBI.
Meanwhile, the evidence indicates the mob that invaded the Capitol on Jan. 6 was overwhelmingly made up of Trump supporters who wanted to help the then-president.

Here’s a closer look at the facts:
CLAIM: Ray Epps, who was filmed on Jan. 5 and 6 urging rioters toward the U.S. Capitol, is a federal agent who helped to orchestrate the insurrection.
THE FACTS: There’s no evidence to support that Epps — who has not been arrested or charged in connection with the Jan. 6 riot — was anything but a disgruntled supporter of former President Donald Trump, like thousands of others who descended on the Capitol that day.
The Jan. 6 committee says Epps testified that he wasn’t working for law enforcement, and at this point, no convincing evidence has been provided linking him to federal agents.
